The tax code is by and for the rich in this country. The old saw golden rule definition, those that have the gold make the rules is so true. This tax structure is tailored for the rich so that they may continue to enrich themselves and keep more of their riches and not put it back to work in this country. I can fully understand that no one would want to put their money in the hands of politicians who would spend it on projects that will enrich them in the form of corporate dollars to finance whatever it is they are interested in such as bridges to nowhere etc.Politicians do not represent the interest of the people. Once we understand that, then we can begin to make the necessary changes to a better America.

When you look at your phone bill, your utility bill the sales tax you pay, the tax on liquor, cigarettes, and gambling it will be clear that the existing structure of taxation is designed to keep the voter in the dark about the cost of government. Fair taxation under a system where the voter is uninformed by policy is an oxymoron.
